It is a new step in TotalEnergies'' development of battery energy storage systems (BESS) which strengthens the Company''s presence across the entire electricity value chain in Belgium (production, storage, supply).
When evaluating battery energy storage system (BESS) prices per MWh, think of it like buying a high-performance electric vehicle – the battery pack is just the starting point.
Financial close was achieved on a 270MWh battery storage project in Belgium by removing as much asset and revenue risk as possible, Energy-Storage.news has heard.
As the renewable energy sector rapidly evolves, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are emerging as a critical pillar for decarbonization. However, with capital constraints and rising market
Dutch energy storage developer Giga Storage BV has secured a permit to build a 600-MW/1,200-MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) park in Belgium, aiming to complete the project in 2028.
Base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are based on a bottom-up cost model using the data and methodology for utility-scale BESS in (Ramasamy et al.,
Factoring in these costs from the beginning ensures there are no unexpected expenses when the battery reaches the end of its useful life. To better understand BESS costs, it’s useful to look at the cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) stored. As of recent data, the average cost of a BESS is approximately $400-$600 per kWh. Here’s a simple breakdown:
The cost of BESS has fallen significantly over the past decade, with more precipitous drops in recent years: This is nearly a 70% reduction in three years, owing to falling battery pack prices (now as low as $60-70/kWh in China), increased deployment, and improved efficiency.
Several factors can influence the cost of a BESS, including: Larger systems cost more, but they often provide better value per kWh due to economies of scale. For instance, utility-scale projects benefit from bulk purchasing and reduced per-unit costs compared to residential installations. Costs can vary depending on where the system is installed.
In September, Giga Storage, a BESS developer based in the Netherlands, announced that it is planning a 300MW/1,200MWh project in Belgium which would be connected directly to the transmission network via existing 380kV high-voltage transmission lines nearby.

An executive summary of major cost drivers is provided for reference, reflecting both global and regional market dynamics that may impact capital costs during the outlook period. Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries are the focus of the report, reflecting the stationary BESS market’s movement away from Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) chemistries.
How containerised BESS costs change over time. Grid connection costs. Balance of Plant (BOP) costs. Operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. And the time taken for projects to progress from construction to commercial operations. Other variables add costs to projects.
